<p>It's called <strong>Slice Girl and the Half Joker</strong>; volume no. 1 <strong>Dinosaur Cat</strong>, a dark / satirical comedy told in the style of a documentary.</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><br/></strong>Imagine living your entire life having never touched another human being. This is the story of Kim, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary condition, where every time someone touches her razor blades just shoot right out of her. I am Shelby Tea, documenting the struggle, the chagrin, the incredible life of Slice Girl.</p>
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<p>Specifically I need feedback for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Style: Is the style in which it's written effective in keeping an audience interested in turning the next page? Does it add to the humour? How could it be improved?</li>
<li>Story: Does it tell an effective story? Does the reader want to read volume no. 2 by the end?</li>
<li>Format: Is it the appropriate length for a zine? Should I, the writer, include directions for a potential artist or leave it to their own devices?</li>
<li>Quality: Is it funny? How could the punches land better?</li>
<li>Punctuation: I am currently terrible at appropriate punctuation.</li>
<li>Anything you would like to add.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>Answering one or all of the above questions would greatly help me out! I have it saved in a google document so if you are interested please send me a message or answer here and I'll get back to you with the details.</p>
<p></p>

</div> Getting feedbacktag:wemakezines.ning.com,2009-12-17:2288844:Topic:1120312009-12-17T21:50:28.229ZEmma Jane Falconerhttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/EmmaJaneFalconer
I was wondering how much feedback you tend to get on your zines. I've been lucky to not get contacted by any creeps or highly irritating people, but I don't really get contacted by anyone with an opinion either (I'm not into the idea of sending stuff to review sites, it seems too forced, I'd rather get feedback from people who were genuinely interested in reading the zine to start with).<br />

There are people who regularly buy my zines as they come out who have never contacted me with any comment, and often when I've traded with people I just get a note saying "thanks for the zine". In fact, I've pretty much just got feedback from people I'm friends with already, who of course will tend to be biased in my favour. In an anxious moment the other week, I was wondering if it was because my zine was so boring it didn't elicit any response at all, or was so bad people didn't want to be mean, so said nothing, but that's probably just self-doubt.<br />
<br />
How about you? Do you get much feedback on your zines? Wanna join a WRITING CIRCLE in South London, UK?tag:wemakezines.ning.com,2009-04-02:2288844:Topic:564452009-04-02T12:48:25.493ZCassiehttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/Cassie
Hullo, under the name 'New Cross Writers' I have been hosting a writers' circle in New Cross, South London. We meet every other Monday evening for creative incitement and literary support. You have to bring some of your latest writing to read to every session - and then feedback is optional, and we're all very nice.<br />

We'd really like to hear from you.
